How to Fight a Denied Auto Insurance Claim

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

When you’ve been struck by another driver, your auto insurance claim is key to a full recovery. You need those funds for your hospital bills, car repairs, and any other costs related to your accident. Unfortunately, you just received a letter from your insurance company with the decision on your claim: denied.

It’s a difficult spot to be in when you have medical debts and car repairs, and you’ll need to know how to fight a denied auto insurance claim. Fortunately, the lawyers at Craig Swapp & Associates can help. Our attorneys can review your claim and find the best way to address the denial.

Reasons an Auto Claim Is Denied

First, you’ll need to understand the reason you were denied compensation. This reason will vary, depending on your situation, but knowing this information will be vital for your claim. You’ll need these answers to formulate the best approach for appealing your denied claim.

Once you know why your claim has been denied, you can start addressing the issues presented. For example, if the insurance provider claims you didn’t file soon enough, you might have evidence showing that you did, or that you were unable to reasonably do so. If you can address the reasons for your claim with a lawyer, you might be able to get your claim settled without an extensive amount of work.

Unsure why you were denied? A lawyer can help you get answers based on your denial letter. Some common reasons for a denial include the following:

Disputes on liability
Lack of medical treatment
Lack of insurance necessary to cover the damage

How to Fight Back

In some cases, the reason for your denial isn’t justifiable and, sometimes, might not be false. For example, the insurance company might claim that your insurance policy doesn’t cover the full extent of the damage, or that you filed a fraudulent claim, even though you know that’s not true.

If you believe the insurance provider is incorrect, especially if you think it was intentional, you’ll need to file a claim of bad faith. A denial made in bad faith leaves you struggling with the costs, and you’ll need to fight back with the help of a lawyer.

Once you’re ready to file, your lawyer will help you gather evidence that the insurer denied you in bad faith. This evidence might include insurance statements, hospital bills, or other information that disputes the insurer’s claim. You’ll need to fight your claim in court to secure the compensation you need.

Get Help Seeking Compensation

When you’re struggling in the wake of a car accident, getting compensation for your pain can be crucial to your full recovery. Unfortunately, your insurance company might not be so willing to help you recover. They might deny your insurance claim, leaving you to pay for your accident-related expenses on your own.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
